Governance card: Restriction without an alternative creates workarounds. Give makers a governed place to build.

TL;DR
A Maker Environment should offer a governed alternative to a restricted Default Environment. Align its DLP with production, grant access through a Security Group after basic training, enable 30-day Dataverse Audit retention, create apps and flows in solutions by default, monitor capacity, and migrate mature solutions to production.

Governance takeaway
- Makers: Complete the basic learning module and build in the Maker Environment, using solutions from the start so experiments can become portable and migration-ready.
- Admins/CoE: Align Maker Lab DLP with production, control entry through a Security Group, monitor usage and capacity, and split environments only when advanced connectors, high volume or serious Dataverse use justifies the overhead.
- Security/Compliance: Enable Dataverse Audit with 30-day retention to trace data changes, while recognizing that audit is retrospective evidence and does not prevent mistakes, restore data or replace backups.
- Leadership/Business: Provide a clear migration path for solutions that become important, because restricting the Default Environment without an alternative drives workarounds and frustration.
